Decent. It was difficult to tell what kind of beer this is. It sort of tasted like a nut brown ale with some extra spiciness. Roasted malt flavor with some cinnamon spices. A little too thin to be a good beer.

Whoa Nelly let me tell ya bout tis beer, which surpirsed me by about 5 tenths of a point. The label is great. The pour is medium brown with a 2-finger off-white head. The aroma is caramel malt, brown sugar, maple syrup, oats, cinnamon. smooth and crisp and rather complex palate. This one is a keeper

12 ounce bottle- poured out a deep, clear, amber color like tea. The head was marginally thick, but very long lasting, wheat colored. Aroma was hard to place, smoke, caramel, toffee? Taste was interesting, strong, bitter coffee with a real bite at the end. Palate was very smooth. Not bad, but not memorable, either.

I agree with BMan113VR Great deal at $5 a sixer... Color is a deep amber with a thin off white head. The aromas are old shoes and off wood. The flavor is not quite right they do not meld together very well. Very unbalanced but still a good deal. Cheers

The best of JW Dundees. Great Price at $5 and change for a 6pack. Pours wiht an off-white, rocky head covering a clear amber body. Good lacing. Fruity aroma with vanilla and almost burbon in there. Tastee is bitter with vanilla undertones, but the balance is messed up. Tastes a bit like a baby, watered down barely wine. Fizzy mouthfeel.
